OK – it was actually the fungus of a couple of weeks ago, but I’m just trying to kick-start more input to the forum.

Not a bad shot at all Adam! – And at least you’re finding things with gills!

The only things I’ve seen with gills recently, are the small trout in Sunnyhurst Brook!

Regards,

Mike.

Nice pic by Fiona from NBGW day. I think Bruce said this was King stropharia – a wood chip specialist only recently recorded in the UK. Some good info on the First Nature website – link below…

Great photos everyone, love the St Georges Mushrooms found some myself and for once I actually knew what it was! Great photo Mike of the Morels, as usual wonderfully done. Great to see so many again on here, all great finds and photos

Just trying out the image upload. This was on my lawn.

Coprinus patouillardii

Not an expert on Inkcaps (or any other fungi!) but I think this maybe one of the Parasola which frequently appear on lawns.

Coprinopsis patouillardii occurs on ‘strawy dung,compost,straw and domestic waste and is occasional or seldom recorded’ according to Buczacki et al 2012

I maybe completely wrong though – ‘the more I know the more I realise I don’t know’!

Hello Marksteer,

The granular pale pinkish brown veil (similar to C. cordisporus) on the pileus surface consists of smooth subglobose elements. Parasola doesn’t have a granular veil. This (even though one if the few remaining in the genus Coprinus) places it in subsection Nivei of the Inkcaps. The distinctive angular spores and their size confirmed it at C. patouillardii.

I appreciate that you didn’t have much to go on in the photo but I was testing the image upload facility. I do try to refrain from naming fungi, especially to species, unless I’m pretty sure of the id. but I do get it wrong sometimes.
